A NATIONAL MONUMENT.
Proposed Memorial Bridge Over the POto-
mac in Honor of General Grant.

Proposed Memorial Bridge Over the Poto-
mac in Honor of General Grant.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-A bill has been
introduced in the Senate and House pro-
viding for the building of a grand memo
rial bridge over the Potomac in honor of
General Grant. The scheme, of course,
is to have the United States build the
bridge, and for this pu~nose the bill ap-
propriates $500, 900 for beginning, but
the projectors admit that they can not
say what would be the full cost of the
bridge Captain I. w. Symons, of the en-
gineer corps, has devoted himself to the
project, and with the assistance of Messrs.
Smith, Meyer and Peltz, architects, has
prepared a very attractive sketch of the
proposed structure The roadway of the
bridge proper is supported on steel
arches. sprnging just above high-water
line, from granite piers. The arch form
is adopted as being the most beautiful
and graceful and the most suitable to
the monumental char Hter Of the bridge
These arch spans vary width, being 24)
feet next the central towers and 100 feet
toward the shores. The arches will be
made of steel tubes after the manner OF
the great Eads bridge at st. Louis. Monu-
mental character is given to the bridge
chiefly by its two central piers and the
towers arising therefrom. The piers
will be 100 feet apart in the clear,
and between them is the draw span for
the passage of sailing vessels. When
opened the leaves of this draw fold upward
ana back into recesses provided in the
towers in such manner as to mar in the
least possible degree the appearance and
effect of the towers. These two towers,
similar in general outline, rise from
the piers to height of 165 feet
above the draw of the bridge and
23O feet above the water. They are to
be of granite, quarry-faced and mas
sive intended to express, as far as possi-
BILE, in their general design, the character
of General Grant. The towers are pierced
for the roadway by an archway equal to it
in width and of properly proportional
height. From the bridge, therefore, these
towers will have the appearance OF tri-
umphal arches of magnificent proportions.
Above ard about these arches and
emplaced upon the towers are to
be suitable allegorical designs and in
scriptions. Provisions will be made also
for the emplacement Of memorial stones
or other objects which may be dedicated
for the purpose to the memory of General
Grant or in commem grafton of the restora-
tion of the Union by countries, States or
societies Besides these principal towers,
smaller ones are designed to be erected on
the other main piers of the bridge suitable
to accompany and lead up to the main
central features.

THE FISHERIES QUESTION.

Report of the subcommittee of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs on the SEN
ate Fisheries Bill-A Substitute Proposed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The sub-commit-
tee of the House committee on foreign
affairs in it's report upon the substitute
for the Senate Fisheries bill, says:
Both measures propose to confer upon the
President discretionary power of proclaiming
non-intercourse with the Provinces Of British
North America. In view of the far-reaching
consequences of the powers, the committee are
impressed with the Importance OF clearly de-
fining them so that such non-intercourse, as it
may be necessary to establish, shall be effect
i've and decisive. Your committee are OF
opinion that the Senate bill is not sufficiently
explicit in this respect 1t requires the
President to be satisfied that our
fishing vessels and fishermen have
been denied the privileges accorded
the trading vessels of the most favored
nations, whereas we have no treaty with Great
Britain containing favored nation clause.
The rights and liberties we are clamoring for
for vessels of the United States, whether fish
ing vessels or otherwise, are those commercial
and trading privileges which are ordinarily ac-
corded by one civilized nation to another. and
such are now, and have been for many years,
conceded to Canadian vessels in American
ports. The committee are also of the opinion
portant respects: 1t empowers the President
to deny entry into any port or place
in the United States "of fresh fish or
salt fish, or any other product Of said Dominion,
or other goods coming from said Dominion to
the United States" The question arises, there
fore, if the merchandise whose entrance by
land into the United States is to be prohibited,
is merely that which is the product of Canada,
how could such provision be enforced? The
fact that Canadian car contained merchandise
would be no evidence that the merchandise was
of the prohibited kind for, under our treaty,
foreign merchandise is entered in Canadian
ports for land transit to the United States
Canadian products might be mixed in Cana
would have to be examined and wholly unload
ed, and even then it would not be difficult to
evade the law.
''These difficulties" the report says, ''it
is believed are met by that clause in the
amended bill herein reported, which re-
lates to the privileges secured by article
20 of the treaty of 1871"
In conclusion the report says: "Duly con
sidering the unwarrantable seizures OF
American vessels and the harsh treatment
of our fishermen during the last fishing
season by the Canadian authorities, the
committee unhesitatingly reports in favor
of comforting upon the President the
power of proclaiming non-intercourse
with the Canadian Provinces whenever in
his Judgment the fact shall warrant him
in S0 doing
